Renesas/MobileOne-S2-ONNX

MobileOne-S2 (ONNX) – Renesas X5H

Introduction

This repository hosts MobileOne-S2, targeting the Renesas R-Car X5H platform for image classification inference on the NPX6 NPU.

Note: The other MobileOne sizes (S0, S1, S3) each have their own sibling repo.

• Model Architecture: MobileOne — a re-parameterizable, mobile-friendly CNN family
• Source Model: timm/mobileone_s2.apple_in1k — OpenMMLab config mobileone-s2_8xb32_in1k
• Task: Image Classification (ImageNet-1k, 1000 classes)
• Parameters: 7.8M

Deployment Flow

The FP32 ONNX model is auto-cast to INT8 by the Renesas MWMX toolchain at compile time — no separate quantization step is required.

Benchmark Methodology

• HIL runs: Hardware-in-the-loop — measured on physical R-Car X5H silicon via the MWMX runtime (metawaremx_runtime CI pipeline, "APM50" ship-performance target)
• Precision: FP32 ONNX input; INT8 execution (auto-cast by MWMX)
• Slices: results reported for both 1 AI core and 12 AI cores per NPU instance
